Jack Harvey, 42, was arrested for dangerous driving in Cornwall last November after he drove off from a petrol station without paying.

Police pulled him over and found he was acting strangely and making odd noises, Truro Crown Court heard.

When officers carried out a search, they discovered drugs in his car, at his home and even taped to his testicles.

A urine sample shows that Harvey had taken a cocktail of drugs, including heroin, cocaine, methadone and amphetamine.

Around £6,800 of heroin and cocaine was seized from him.

Harvey, of Buckshead, Cornwall, admitted dangerous driving and possession with intent to supply heroin and cocaine.

“Of the drugs stuck to his testicles he denied any knowledge, commenting that some filthy woman must have put it there”

Philip Lee, prosecuting

In an interview with police, he denied being drunk but said that he had no recollection of any dangerous driving on the A390, near Probus, Cornwall.

Prosecutor Philip Lee said: "He made allegations that police had planted the drugs in his car...of the drugs stuck to his testicles he denied any knowledge, commenting that some filthy woman must have put it there."

Harvey was handed a jail sentence of 3.5 years.

The dealer is no stranger to prison time, having already been jailed for five years for selling heroin.

He was released in 2011 and tried to stay clean until this incident.

His lawyer told the court that Harvey had, however, begun to crave heroin again, and admitted that this was a "significant yet relatively recent wobble".
